A Seduction of Words

If all it took were words to seduce your heart
I would remain silent and show you my heart
My smile would widen when you came near
My eyes would long to hold you dear
Pounding beats that thump the chest
Ape love swells the breast
Embracing arms to sweep you up
Never to land without my hand
Taste your kiss as often can
Breathe us in
You Jane, me Tarzan
A seduction of words
When left on a page
Can never amount
To physical touch

“The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionaries are philosophers and saints.” — Will Durant
